Just find someone with lactose intolerance. We poison ourselves for kicks every day.

It seems a bit of a stretch to equate a general statement saying they’re “taking steps” to a specific action statement saying they’re using signal jamming on the satellite. They could send a memo reminding base staff to observe ISMS protocols and still claim they “Took steps”.

US military communications? Probably not. I can’t speak intelligently about what kind of capability a spy balloon has, but isn’t not unreasonable that someone security minded doesn’t like the idea of a near peer like China or Russia being allowed to make attempts so freely.

I’m in this comment and I hate it. Have a star.

This might well be the case. Most people, myself included, have no idea how electronic warfare is conducted. Certainly no one official is claiming they were using any sort of EW to jam the balloon’s ability to collect information. With so little information available, it’s not strange that reasonable people can still…

To be fair, knowing where the sites are, and collecting communications data from the people living in and around those sites are two very different things. I’m not saying that’s what’s happening here but it’s hard to fault someone (who isn’t an obviously disingenuous grandstanding politician) for regarding this as a…

That’s also a form of engagement, I’ve heard. Maybe this is what he’s going for now.

I’m confused. The song seems to mock Biden for overreacting to the balloon. As I understand it tho, Greene was super into the idea of shooting it down.

Honest question: *has* he brought more advantages than if he were openly a republican? From the outside looking in, he kind of makes the democrats look even more incompetent than usual.

Frankly, that’s an insult to people who have actual lead poisoning.

The response feels underwhelming having grown up listening to 99 Red Balloons.

Is it some kind of money laundering scam? I mean, incel crazies are gullible, but 2K-USD-for-a-text-scroll-and-background-images crazy? (Yes, I know the answer is probably yes, but still... )

While I get Suletta is clearly being portrayed as a sociopath or something, calling it a warcrime is a bit of an overstatement no? An armed dude was about to murder her fiancé. The weapon she happened to have to prevent that was giant robot hand. Give her a couple of tears and a catchy theme song playing in the…

As I understand it, the military is often forced against its will to declassify documents after a period of time passes (ugh. just realized the f-16 is 50 years old already).

I feel that, though you also gotta think about possibly getting killed and leaving your *own* kid without a parent.

So simplify it for us then: Cox supports the Gender Recognition Bill. He also defends Rowling. Does Cox accept trans people as human beings or not?

Twitter no longer has a communications department to contact for comment.

It’s pretty common for people to hold grudges for far longer over lesser offenses. Is it so different just because the dominant emotion isn’t rage?

I got it from the commenter I replied to.
